Square Cash App rolls out Bitcoin buying/selling to all users in the US...

I was one of the lucky few people to first have the ability to purchase Bitcoin in my Square Cash app, when they randomly selected users in the San Francisco Bay Area to test it out. I made a video then showing it in use, and explained some of my theories for what Square may do with this long term.

Finally, as of this week any user in the United States can now use the Square Cash app to purchase BTC, and with no fees... for now.

UPDATE: Originally stated the ability to transfer BTC out of the app to another wallet wasn't available, but this feature has indeed been added! It's just tucked away a bit. You must click on the profile settings, then your Bitcoin balance. From there you will see options to 'enable withdraws' and it will ask for a photo of your ID for verification before they enable it.
